ABOUT US

Rethinking surgery.

We enable safe and efficient monitoring of tissues during cancer surgery without compromising workflows.

VISION

Better surgical outcomes with an informed minimally invasive approach

Our vision is to be the leading manufacturer of aspirate tissue monitoring solutions by 2028.

Marginum is developing ground-breaking tissue recognition technology, especially for oncological surgery. Our technology enables safe and efficient identification of cancerous tissue with minimal damage to healthy tissues.

There is a globally growing need for efficient oncological treatments and accurate tissue identification is one of its biggest challenges during surgery. With our data-driven technology, we aim to radically improve surgical performance and patient outcomes. We prioritise patient welfare and adhere to the highest level of professionalism in everything we do. We respect the individual and by embracing diversity of thought, experience and background – we foster continuous learning and curiosity to deliver tangible value and lasting positive change. Our company can be only as successful as our team members and customers are.
